Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)): Monitoring, Testing, and Data Recovery Projects

In fiscal year 2011, The Soil Systems, Inc. (SSI) Pueblo Grande project was awarded grant funding from the Digital Archaeological Record (tDAR) to preserve SSI’s digital data from a series of archaeological projects conducted at Pueblo Grande village (AZ U:9:7), Phoenix, AZ. These data are the results of incompletely reported projects that SSI directed after completion of the Hohokam Expressway project in the late 1980’s. The project goals were to collect all available digital data from these...

This document contains two tables that serve as a guide to the archaeological projects conducted at Pueblo Grande from 1990 to 2008. The tables contain information on the post-Hohokam Expressway projects from SSI's Pueblo Grande Cultural Park Testing project to ACS' Lightrail Preconstruction project. The Master Provenance Table lists project names and numbers, the unit number(s) for each project, the provenience designation (PD) numbers used during each project, and the feature numbers used...

This composite map depicts the entirety of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)) in Phoenix, AZ. The map shows the locations of the spatial units that SSI and other cultural resource firms defined to bound their archaeological projects and associated cultural features. In addition, the map displays the locations of well-defined prehistoric cultural features (platform mound, ballcourt, compounds) and areas (habitation areas, burial groups) within the known site boundaries. Finally, the map depicts modern...

Volume 2 describes the prehistoric features, excluding the platform mound and its adjacent compound, that have been excavated at Pueblo Grande Cultural Park, a 102-acre portion of the prehistoric site owned by the City of Phoenix (see Downum and Bostwick, Volume 1:Chapter 1). This city park encompasses the central precinct of the Pueblo Grande site. Data curated in the Pueblo Grande Museum Archive (PGMA) concerning the non-platform mound features are compiled and synthesized here, with the...

Pueblo Grande is a special place. The subject of legend both ancient and modern, it is one of the most impressive and familiar of all surviving Hohokam sites. Until recently, any visitor could plainly see from exposed rooms, deteriorating walls, and eroding test holes and tunnels that Pueblo Grande had been extensively excavated. It would have been logical to assume from this evidence that the site was one of the most famous and best documented of all Classic period Hohokam villages. Until the...

Fourteen inhumations were excavated during this project. All remains & associated artifacts were repatriated to the Salt River...

Pueblo Grande demography/paleopathology data sets are by burial group (BG) under each project heading. If the burial group for a feature is unknown, the data are identified only at the project area or stripping area level. Data contained include age, sex, stature, and presence/absence of various indicators of stress and infectious disease listing elements affected. Stature estimates (when preservation allowed for measurements of femur and/or tibia length) were calculated using corrected...

From February to April 2007, Soil Systems archaeologists completed an archaeological data recovery and burial removal project (SSI Project No. 06-03) on a parcel of land (Unit 15) along the east side of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)). SSI performed the archaeological clearance for the Lauth Property Group, LLC. SSI's previous work in this same parcel under Project Nos. 97-08 and 99-01 resulted in the archaeological clearance of a section of the property for the Kitchell Development Co. (see...

In a development plan proposed in 1999, two areas were to be excavated below grade for a building foundation and a runoff detention basin and the rest of the parcel was to be resurfaced at grade. Because this parcel is immediately east of the Iarge Hohokam village site of Pueblo Grande (AZ U:9:1(ASM)), a two-phase testing program determined the distribution of intact prehistoric cultural remains and established that mortuary features with human remains would be impacted if the existing...

The Lauth Data Recovery Faunal (FAUNAL) Data sheet contains data on the faunal remains recovered during SSI's additional recovery work in Unit 15 of Pueblo Grande. The data set lists the provenience designation (PD) and Field Specimen (FS) number of the remains (Note that it is essential that the PD and FS remain associated to identify a given faunal specimen). If the specimen was recovered from an identified feature, the data set also provides the feature number and feature type. The data sheet...

The Lauth project Field Specimen (FS) Data sheet contains basic artifact data for the cultural material recovered in each PD unit. It lists the PD number, the specimen (FS) number (specimen numbers range from 1 to n for each PD unit), and the point location (PL) number (if applicable). Please note that a combination of a PD number AND FS number is necessary to identify an artifact specimen. The table then provides data on artifact type, lithic material (if applicable), lithic condition (if...

The Lauth project Provenience Designation (PD) data sheet summarizes the PD's excavated during the project's data recovery efforts. It is the master list for all excavated contexts (i.e., trenches, excavation units, features, sub-features, etc) in the Lauth data recovery effort. It contains information about each PD and the features recorded during excavation.

The Lauth project Ceramic Rough Sort (RS_CERAMICS) Data sheet contains data from the rough sort analysis of ceramics recovered during the Lauth data recovery project. It contains information on ceramic types, tempers and counts; it also records vessel and rim forms where applicable. The data sheet also contains rim circumference and rim diameter measurements for some ceramic specimens.

In 1990, Soil System's archaeologists completed a testing project (SSI Project No. 90-08) within the Pueblo Grande Cultural Park to help prepare development plans for a museum expansion. The project was conducted for the City of Phoenix Parks, Recreation, and Library Department. SSI tested an area west of the original museum building and public parking lot (in Units 08 and 09 of Pueblo Grande). The testing project included both backhoe trenching and stripping. Eight backhoe trenches 182 m in...

The Pueblo Grande Museum Expansion Monitoring and Testing Project Field Specimen (FS) data sheet contains data about the artifact types recovered in each PD unit during this investigation (SSI Project No. 90-08) at Pueblo Grande. It lists the PD number, the field specimen (FS) number (specimen numbers range from 1 to n for each PD unit), and the point location (PL) number (if applicable). The table then provides artifact type, lithic material (if applicable), lithic condition (if applicable),...

The Pueblo Grande Museum Expansion Monitoring and Testing Project Provenience Designation (PD) data sheet summarizes the PD's excavated during SSI Project No. 90-08 in the Pueblo Grande cultural park. It is the master list for all excavated contexts in the monitoring and testing effort. It contains information about each PD and the features recorded during excavation. The data derived from this testing project were used to plan the placement of three new buildings in areas that would have the...
